Question

     detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailViewController_iPad" bundle:nil];

    [self.splitViewController.splitViewController viewWillDisappear:YES];
    detailViewController.strDetailId = [teaserSectionOneArray objectAtIndex:indexValue] ;
    NSMutableArray *viewControllerArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[[self.splitViewController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1] viewControllers]];
    [viewControllerArray removeAllObjects];
    [viewControllerArray addObject:detailViewController];
    [[self.splitViewController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1] setViewControllers:viewControllerArray animated:NO];
    [self.splitViewController.splitViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
    [viewControllerArray release];

This code using for push to the detail view. How do I pop to another view controller in detail view when I click the button? Its not supported the [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];. How to handle this problem? Thanks in advance!

Wooooow thats NOT how you push a view controller on the stack of a navigationController !!

You don’t have to call viewWillDisappear, viewWillAppear and such yourself ! You don’t have to add the detailViewController to the splitViewController.viewControllers array yourself either!

What you need to do is this:

• Make sure your UISplitViewController has a NavigationController as part of its detailViewController (namely the ViewController that is on the right of the screen should be an UINavigationController, not a regular UIViewController).
• The rest is then easy as it works the same way as any regular UINavigationController. The fact that your UINavigationController is the right part of an UISplitViewController is not different than when you use an UINavigationController in any other context.

Simply use pushViewController:animated: and popViewControllerAnimated: methods of UINavigationController to push and pop your view controllers. Access your UINavigationController from your UISplitViewController using either a custom IBOutlet that you added to point to it, or by accessing (UINavigationController*)[self.splitViewController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1].
